Well, emerge --info is kinda required to get some info, otherwise your scenario is pretty bleak.
I'm almost certain you're running a sparc32 box, that much i know.

Sorry, I did look around briefly for a sticky on what information to post with these sort of issues and didn't find anything, but I've seen enough messages here that I should've been intelligent enough to at least include emerge --info.

ccache won't help you, what's more likely to help you is using the new toolchain on sparc32.
Upgrading can probably be a real pain, basically you've gotta switch profile to 2006.0/2.4 and then follow the gcc-upgrading guide with special attention to the sparc details.
Or you can pick one of the latest stage3 release stages and try that in a chroot to see if it's worth it._________________Gustavo Zacarias

By the way, you Gentoo guys are great. I don't think I went or have ever gone over 30 minutes without an answer (or at least a potential answer) to an issue I'm having with my Gentoo installs. Lately I have been dealing with some other issues with various software packages, and most of those queries go unanswered for hours, if not days. Just wanted to give you your props!_________________Gentoo Linux is groovy, baby! Yeah!

One issue... During my emerge -e world, I am getting this message on every package rebuild:

Code:

QA Notice: the following files contain executable stacks
Files with executable stacks will not work properly (or at all!)
on some architectures/operating systems. A bug should be filed
at http://bugs.gentoo.org to make sure the file is fixed.

Is this anything to worry about?_________________Gentoo Linux is groovy, baby! Yeah!

Cool. I had tried running some of the freshly-recompiled programs and they all run fine so I figured there wasn't anything to concern myself with. Thanks for the confirmation._________________Gentoo Linux is groovy, baby! Yeah!
